	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2335, Maldonado.  Taxation:  local agency reorganization.
   Existing property tax law requires, when a city, district, or any
special zone is created or its boundaries changed, that the levying
authority of that entity file a specified statement and map or plat
with the relevant county assessors and the State Board of
Equalization by December 1 of the year immediately preceding the year
in which the assessments or taxes are to be levied.
   This bill would extend this deadline to December 31, 1999, with
respect to a noncontiguous reorganization completed in 1999 by the
City of Santa Maria.
   This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to
the necessity for a special statute.
   The bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency provision.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  (a) Notwithstanding Section 54902, 54902.1, or 54903 of
the Government Code, the noncontiguous reorganization completed by
the City of Santa Maria in December 1999 pursuant to Sections 56110
and 56111 of the Government Code shall be effective for assessment
and taxation purposes for the 2000-01 fiscal year, provided that the
statement and map or plat required with respect to that
reorganization by Section 54900 of the Government Code were filed
with the county assessor and the State Board of Equalization on or
before December 31, 1999.
  (b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2002,
and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute,
that is enacted before January 1, 2002, deletes or extends that date.

  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is
necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the
meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution
because of the unique procedural difficulties and administrative
complications and requirements faced by the City of Santa Maria in
completing a noncontiguous reorganization in 1999.
  SEC. 3.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect.  The facts constituting the necessity are:
   In order that the noncontiguous reorganization completed by the
City of Santa Maria in December 1999 shall be fully effective, it is
necessary that this act take effect immediately.
